Family Skype Calls

Many of you know that for the last eight months my parents have been serving as mission presidents in Piura, Peru. They are in charge of organizing the missionaries, ensuring their well-being, and directing the work to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. This means that they are very busy. However, every Sunday we get together on Skype and have a family web cam conference. (For those who are wondering, Skype doesn't allow for multiple web cams, but we've found a way around it.) These phone calls have been very special to our family, as it allows us to continue family prayers and share in each other's successes, difficulties, and adventures. Of course, we also have a bit of fun:

I bet those calls get pretty crazy! What's your trick for doing multiple party Skype calls?

Yeah - YES - it is SO fun to have our family phone calls. It makes the separation so doable. As for the trick for doing multiple party Skype calls, there is pretty much one rule. One person at a time. If there is a lot of background noise the person can push mute while they are not talking but change it back when they are. Emily - I;m thinking there is only ONE person who fits the description to the person David is thinking. Yes, she's our fabulous popcorn queen.
